The Boy

A little relative lost in his own world. I’m getting the hang of the strange proportions of children’s heads now. They are so very different to adults. Such a different shape, so pointy. The changes they go through are remarkable. Drawn with graphite into my A5 Tate Gallery sketchbook.

The One Show And Me

Back in the summer last year, I took part in a public ‘draw-in’ in St. David’s on the west coast of Wales. A dozen artists based in Goat Street gallery were filmed drawing or painting locals and holidaymakers who queued up the road and round the corner for a chance to have their portraitContinue reading “The One Show And Me”

Thanks For That

One of those days, I haven’t stopped and now it’s really late and I haven’t done a drawing to blog. So it’s going to be sketches of the cat again. Except she stopped cooperating and went off in a strop, so then poor Husb had to stand in for the cat and just as IContinue reading “Thanks For That”

Swansea Caff Culture

Two days, two cities, two cafes. Husb and I went to the Marina Market in Swansea today, a lovely day, cold and crisp but sunny. There was also a Preloved Fair at the adjacent National Industrial and Maritime Museum too. It was very busy and felt for the first time that winter might be lifting.Continue reading “Swansea Caff Culture”

Cardiff Caff Culture

Went up to The ‘Diff today to visit the excellent artspace, g39 just off City Road, a bustling part of the capital. Husb and I had a walk around the area, it was freezing and we found a proper old-fashioned greasy spoon caff where we indulged ourselves with bacon and egg baps and hot,Continue reading “Cardiff Caff Culture”

Northern Head

Here’s the other drawing I did at the life drawing group last night at Swansea Print Workshop. I spent about 35 minutes on this portrait using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. I like working with this model, she has a very distinctive face, reminds me of Northern Renaissance paintings.Continue reading “Northern Head”

This Evening’s Nude

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop with a new nude study. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. It’s late, I am off to bed. 😊

Seconds And Minutes

Husb and I are just back from seeing the marvellous film ‘Set Fire To The Stars‘ at the Taliesin Arts Centre, followed by a Q&A session from one of the film’s leads, Celyn Jones. A great night out. I did some very speedy sketches in the bar before we went in. These were done inContinue reading “Seconds And Minutes”

Another Night, Another Cat

Another quick scribble at the end of the day: another cat. It’s just so easy when I’m slumped on a chair, panicking because I haven’t done a drawing for my blog yet. She’s slumped on the chair too. I get annoyed with myself because I haven’t produced a great masterpiece, or misstresspiece, but the importantContinue reading “Another Night, Another Cat”
